BLOG NOW ACTIVE
http://www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/Al-and-Sara/ At the begining of 2007 we decided to embark on a new adventure and applied to become volunteers with VSO. In September we were offered placements in Ethiopia and arrived in a small town in western Ethiopia called Assosa on the 15th February 2008. We strongly believe in the principles behind VSO and now have first hand experience of the excellent work that VSO does in developing countries all over the world and what the money raised helps to support. We really appreciate any contribution you are able to make! We've Arrived
We arrived in Ethiopia on the 3 February and spent 10 days in Addis Ababa training, which included language and other sessions preparing us for our life in Ethiopia, then on Thursday 14 February we set off on our two day journey to Assosa, the picture above is taken on our way. The journey was amazing - a little bumpy, but amazing, we will make sure we update the site with a few more pictures over the coming weeks - so keep a look out! Fundraising-Leaving Celebrations - 26 January
A very big thank you to everyone!
Thanks to everyone who came along to the party on Saturday and donated prizes, we had a fantastic time. Your support with the raffle, quiz and especially the auction was just incredible. We really have been overwhelmed by everyone's generosity and support. We're in the process of adding everything up, but it looks as if you've helped us to raise an additional £1500 to add to our current total. An additional thanks to Racks in Clifton and all the staff who helped make the event a big success. Many thanks for your support.
